Create Flameskull

Finishing the incantation, you smirk as green fire engulfs the skull of your new servant.

Level: 8	Component Cost: 520 gp
Category: Creation	Market Price: 800 gp
Time: 6 hours	Key Skill: Religion (no check)
Duration: Instant

You create a flameskull and give it instructions. The flameskull is an intelligent servant, but its instructions cannot later be changed, so it does best with a concrete mission like guarding an area. You need the skull of an arcane character with a level equal to or greater than the flameskull’s level to cast this ritual; if the skull is not adequate, you learn this as soon as you begin the ritual and can abandon the effort at no cost.

Create Greater Flameskull

You create a greater flameskull and give it instructions. The greater flameskull is an intelligent servant, but its instructions cannot later be changed, so it does best with a concrete mission like guarding an area.
